Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks had an incredible debut campaign this season in the Big Ten. They went undefeated in the regular season and also managed to win the conference championship by defeating the Penn State Nittany Lions. This helped the Ducks receive an automatic bye in the first round of the college football playoffs and compete directly in the quarterfinals.

Dan Lanning and his team took on the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Rose Bowl CFP quarterfinals. College football fans expected the Ducks to continue their dominating performance and advance to the semifinals. Unfortunately, Ryan Day and his team had other ideas.

The Ohio State Buckeyes put up an incredible performance against the Oregon Ducks. They dominated the game right from the start and secured the Rose Bowl victory with a 41-21 final score. This brought an end to Dan Lanning's fruitful 2024 campaign, leading to many memes being circulated on the internet.

Here are the top 10 memes about the Oregon head coach following their loss to Ohio State in the Rose Bowl.

Dan Lanning takes responsibility for Oregon's Rose Bowl loss to Ohio State

The Oregon Ducks were at a disadvantage right from the start of the first quarter against OSU. Quarterback Dillon Gabriel could not do enough to help his team overcome the deficit they were in despite putting up 299 yards and two touchdowns.

In the postgame press conference, Dan Lanning opened up about how his team didn't take advantage of opportunities on the field. He also praised the Buckeyes for their dominating performance and stated that they were the better team tonight.

"We had an opportunity and we didn't take advantage of of our opportunity. I'm not going to make excuses. Ultimately, you've got to beat great teams at the end of the year, and we didn't do that."

"This was the road that we had to travel, and they did it better than us tonight..... They clicked tonight and we didn't. And I didn't get our team prepared......We really didn't have the ability to stop them, and we didn't have the ability to get something going for us on offense."

With this victory, the Ohio State Buckeyes will take on Texas in the Cotton Bowl Classic next weekend. It will be interesting to see if Ryan Day can win his first natty with the program this season.
